INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons quick-rise yeast
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey)
For the Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- Pretzel salt (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start by warming the water to around 110°F — it should feel warm to the touch, but not hot or cold.
- Add the yeast to the water and whisk until combined. Set the bowl aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Pour the yeast-water mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form. If needed, add an extra tablespoon of water to achieve a thick, non-sticky dough.
- Lightly flour your countertop and divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Roll each piece into a rope and then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the pretzel bites inside, ensuring there is enough room for them to expand.
- Brush the dough with melted butter and air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the pretzel bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a plate.
- Brush the remaining melted butter over the bites and sprinkle with pretzel salt, if desired.
Serve and enjoy your warm, buttery pretzel bites!
